Piper-Heidsieck Champagne
The famous Champagne house Piper-Heidsieck was founded in 1785 by the German immigrant Florens-Louis Heidsieck. His ambition was to create a “cuvée worthy of a queen”, and when he presented his wine for Queen Marie Antoinette she loved it from the first sip. With that recommendation, the Heidsieck Champagne soon became famous and shipped to more than 14 royal and imperial courts from Europe to China.
In 1838 The famous winemaker Henri-Guillaume Piper married into the Heidsieck family and became a partner in the Company. The name Piper-Heidsieck Champagne was born. Romantic relations have always been part of the Piper-Heidsieck story and the small “dash” between the names has inspired to the communication “Dash of Seduction”.
